ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62115 has been prepared by subcommittee IEC technical
committee 61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003, Amendment 1
(2004) and Amendment 2 (2010). This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– the general conditions for tests has been rewritten and modified (Clause 5);

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, electric toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of
children. Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children
and their intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to an electric toy either being given to a child for whom it is not
intended or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does
not eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of electric toys. It is
assumed that when choosing an electric toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and
mental development of the child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with electric toys, especially those
risks that are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some electric toys
have risks inherent in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to
reasonably foreseeable use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as
adults.
While this standard applies to new electric toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear
and tear of electric toys in use.
The fact that an electric toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other
persons in charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is
also necessary when children of various ages have access to the same electric toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button battery or coin battery
operated lights to large ride-on electric toys powered by rechargeable batteries. This results
in different requirements and tests according to the type of electric toy. For some electric
toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are met (see Clause 6).
Other safety aspects of electric toys are described in the ISO 8124 series of standards.
An electric toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A electric toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with
the standard.
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that
compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent.
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured the IEC that they are willing to negotiate licences
under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the
world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with IEC.

ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies safety requirements for electric toys that have at least
one function dependant on electricity, electric toys being any product designed or intended,
whether or not exclusively, for use in play by children under 14 years of age.
NOTE 1 Examples of electric toys also within the scope of this standard are
– constructional sets;
– experimental sets;
– functional electric toys (an electric toy that performs and is used in the same way as a product,
appliance or installation intended for use by adults, and which may be a scale model of such product,
appliance or installation);
– electric toy computers;
– a doll's house having an interior lamp.
Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.
Additional requirements for electric toys incorporating optical radiation sources are given in
Annex E.
Measurement methods for electric toys generating electromagnetic fields (EMF) are given in
Annex I.
Additional requirements for the safety of remote controls for electric ride-on toys are given
in Annex J.
If the packaging is intended to have play value then it is considered to be part of the electric
toy.
This International Standard only covers the safety aspects of electric toys that relate to an
electrical function.
NOTE 2 The ISO 8124 series of standards address other aspects of the safety of electric toys. Other horizontal
product standards may also apply to electric toys.
This standard covers the safety of electric toys taking power from any source, such as
batteries, transformers, solar cells and inductive connections.
NOTE 3 Transformers for toys (IEC 61558-2-7 for linear types or IEC 61558-2-7 and IEC 61558-2-16 for switch
mode types), battery chargers (IEC 60335-2-29) and battery chargers for use by children (IEC 60335-2-29 Annex
AA:) are not considered to be part of an electric toy even if supplied with an electric toy.
NOTE 4 This standard is not intended to assess the safety of batteries however it does address the safety of the
electric toy with the batteries inserted.
This International Standard does not apply to the following products:
– automatic playing machines, whether coin operated or not, intended for public use
(IEC 60335-2-82);
– toy vehicles equipped with combustion engines;
– toy steam engines;
– slings and catapults;
– electric decorative robots;
IEC 62115:2017 © IEC 2017 – 9 –
